Cyberstorm by Matthew Mather

A great read for those who enjoy reading about techno-dystopia or failure of technology...which is exactly the premise of this book.

The author takes you on a non-stop roller coaster ride from good to the not-so-good to the unspeakable horror of humanity under adverse conditions. When all technology comes to a screeching halt, thing and normal operations of your life will change. His intelligent approach and explanations of detailed descriptions help to put the reader right in the midst of the story along with the rest of the characters.

I highly recommend this page turner for all Sci-Fi fans.

Nice one Art. I always rely on you for my AI fix of film, TV, and books. Will check this one out too.

Thanks for that, Squarebear.

Keep in mind that the story depicts a time when all our technology and networks no longer work and mankind is forced to become resourceful in order to protect family and loved ones.

I'm sure the book could be had via Amazon in the Used book section for around a pound or so. Again, a powerful read.

That's a thought I had too. We are just so dependent on technology, it would be like going back to the stone age if it all failed on us.

Right and this is my last "add" to this posting with regard to the book itself.

The title, Cyberstorm...sounds sort of ominous and it hints at something digital that has gone wrong...a Network perhaps.
Yes, some one or some group has done some hacking on a Grand level...one the world has never known...then it's...well...you can form your own thoughts on this or get the book ;)
